GBrowse: Difference between revisions

We have installed GBrowse on a server which has access to /home and /project directories of cedar. The server is called "cedar portal" and its web address is "https://gateway.cedar.computecanada.ca". On this server we have installed apache-2.4.6 web server with apache itk module. In order to be able to access files and directories of the the users while maintaining the security each research group who is interested to have GBrowse will get a specific shared account. The itk module is used to assign uid of the shared account for each specific apache vhost. The GBrowse then will be installed on that vhost. Each vhost will get a specific port number to connect. Therefore for each research group there is one GBrowse instance. Every GBrowse instance act as a user with uid of that shared account. In this way GBrowse is able to read files of users withing a research group. If you need GBrowse on cedar portal please send a request to support@computecanada.ca
